But Cheered by The POpulaec ON His
Way.
DUBLIN, March 19.-Father Keller. who
was arrested at Youghal yesterday, was
driven to court to-day in the Lord MAYORS
carriage, receiving an ovation from the peo-
pie IN the streets. He refused to give any
testimony as to his custody of tenants
money as trustee under plan of campaign
and was committed to prison for contempt
of court. The scene in the streets when
Father Keller was being taken to court il
unparalleled in the history of Dublin.
Vast crowds had collected, and when the
priest appeared riding in the Lord Mayors
carriage. cheer after cheer greeted him.
The noise and excitement, both inside and
outside the court room, were SO great as to
prevent the hearing of the case, and the
Judge threatened to clear the court unless
silence was maintained. After the COM
INITIAL, Father Keller was taken out of
court and placed in cab in the custody of
officers. The people Immediately made
rush for the vehicle, removed the horses.
and dragged it through the streets to Kill
mailman Jail, where the priest was locked
up.

The railroad bcsSes are getting to the
end Of the iops; AID the days of railroad
domination in State affairs are evidently
numbered The Morris Essex Railroad,
that but yesterday proudly declared itself
greater than the State, now bends the sup
plant knee to thepeople, and humbly asks
for terms. She will pay her past due taxes
she will pay them all up TO date-if the
Legislature will only leave her exclusive
irepealable franchise untouched. Only
yesterday the Newark Advertiser and the
jour nal of this city--both Republican
sheets, mind you, and the most readily
responsive to the demands of the corpora
tions-were telling US how futile such
legislation would be. To-day the Company
itself admits the effectiveness of the legis-
lation by giving up her shekels to escape
it. The State can afford to take the terms
the Company offers. She does not bind
is already past due, it is true; but hen if
she doesn't pay her next years tsxeg the
State can put the screws to her again. Her
franchises can be wiped out whenever the
people see fit TO do it; and they will see Fl +
to start out on the war-path again, doub.
less, the moment she begins on airs
agar. Only be careful that, in perfecting
the arrangements for the proposed com
promise. no new nrepeaiable contract is
made with the defiant concern. Be careful
to see that there is no gentleman of color
in the lumber pile! We congratulate our
selves upon this victory no less than the
Ex-Governor who first led the public forces
into the battle, or the Legislature whose
deterGin alton won il. For it was through
these columns that public attention was
first drawn to the defiant attitude of the
corporation; and it was right here that the
war which has ended in triumph was inaug-
urated. Our agitation might have counted
for nothing if ex-governor Albeit had not
made the Company shining mark by
pointing his arrows at it. 1t was his aggres-
sive attitude that made the public senti-
ment we had striyen to arouse, forceful
and irresistible; and the people of the State
are, even yet, reaping the rich harvest he
sowed for them.

Some time ago there came to this State
from the Long Island wilderness, Bohe-
milan named England, who, with a great
flourish of trumpets announced that he
had power of m oney, and that with it he
intended to establish New Jersey News
Bureau that would take the bread and but
ter oat Of the m ouths of tt men who were
than supplying New Jersey news to the
New York morning papers. Naturally
enough, the reporters whom the moneyed
Bohemian sent to the usual places of call
we're excommunicateda and ostIacised by the
reporters whom he proposed to slaughter;
and. as usual, they got cleft" on all news
matters that the heterogeneous and undis-
eliminating police did not throw at them.
The Bohemian was therefore ''beaten"
every day in the week, and after a time he
found that his money was being spent
without res1lt. He couldn't do as we'll for
the New York papers as their regular men
we're doing. and lately he has tried another
racket. His latest policy has .oeen to Sc
cure the services in each of the large cites
Of some man connected with a local news
paper, TO supply him with the news. In
this city he is reported to have made an
engagement with Rev. c. 81. Benson, who
reads all the news that goes into the
ssJournar' Office. and sends it as fast as the
'tyeurnal" gets il to his Bohemian en-
pieyer, and the New York papers which he
supplies Mr.. Benson is scrupulousl,4
earefal that the services of men employed
"a the "Journa" shall be given exclusively
to the journal" and has even forbidden
enc Of its reporters. who happens to be
the Associated Press Agent here, to do any
work fer that concern. His acceptance Of
Bohemian England's job is therefore not
q ute consistent. He should be an exsm-
plar for the men who are under him by
living up to his own rule of righteousness
himself. He seems to have carried into
the editorial sanetum his old ministerial
trick Of laying down the law for the rest
of the world and then going off and doing
pretty much as he chose him self.

Titus still in the Balance.

TRENTON, March 19.-There was no SEES
sion of the Court of Pardons to-day, and
Tituss case will not be decided until next
Tuesday. There is great speculation as to
the probable action of the Court on the Pc
titions for Communication of the death SEN
tence. The postponement of the decision
from to day till Tuesday next is recorded
by Iitus's friends as a hopeful indication
of the Courts hesitancy to affirm the death
sentence.

The EUenimg Sun will shake up the dry
bones of New York Journalism with alarm
ing abruptness. It is the most complete
model of an afternoon paper ever issued in
this country. The news one finds in the
afternoon papers as a rule, is of tie
accidental caught-on-the-fiyk kind. It is not
suggestive of system IN gathering or in
presentation. It is never round and com
plete like the work of the morning dailies
Sometimes it is a mere hint, and it always
gives birth to the suggestion that the de-
tails that make it interesting and readable
will be found in the papers of the next
morning. They appear, in short, to be but
indexes Of the news one may expect to find
in the great morning journals. This is
partly because the afternoon papers have
only the morning hours for search of their
news, for the working up of its details,
and for its preparation and printing. The
morning papers have the whole day and far
into the night for the reese arch. The man
ayers of the Euening Sun seem to be max
ing 1t point to hide the hotch-potch haste
with which the ordinary evening paper is
gotten up from view, and one feels, when
he has read it, that he has learned about all
that can be learned of the topics that it
handles. 1t is in marked contrast with the
telegram, full only of flaming b cad lines
and ''leads' that spread an inch of reading
over whole column of space. Never an
evening goes by when the Telegram cannot
be read clean through in less than five min
utes. One can sit down to the Eveninq Sun
with the solid satisfaction of having some
thing to read, and it will rapidly take the
lead among the cheap afternoon papers.
1t will not affect the larger and more costly
afternoon papers, as, for instance, the
Evening Post. They have a clientage that
no amount of competition can take away.
